While I think it's cool that Blerds can engage in and have knowledge in a variety of different things, I also think it's really important that we put our heads into the world of tech. I'm not the most knowledgeable in tech, I'm only just getting back into IT, tech and STEM but I've talked to some Black people that want to doubt our potential in technology and I strongly disagree, get with the times or get left behind because technology is absolutely important for us in fighting white supremacy. Would you agree? (There's no changing my mind about how I feel in regards to furthering our knowledge in the tech world anyway but I'd still like to hear some thoughts).

All the manual labor jobs are going to be dominated by hispanics so if you’re Black and running from STEM it’s going to be hard times.

They already got a robo-pizza maker ... Touch screen order taker at McDonald's... Now if you were the programmer or engineer for that tech, you might save yourself ...

There are definitely many applications ... I think the tables are starting to change, ... Some places you go, and you as a tech person can command your price ...

Mentors are needed to help steer kids in that direction.. I know for me, I had some powerful symbols in my household to steer me towards that (my Dad, and a picture of my young uncle tinkering with his patent) ...

I remember Seiji Hito mentioning that robo-pizza maker and Jay-Z funding a pizza place that has those same machines. We need to pay attention to people investing their money into technological evolution in any field so that we can do the same for our own people whilst learning more about the technology and how to further monetise that technology to our advantage.
